Smile é uma canção composta por Charlie Chaplin originalmente em 1936, para seu filme, Tempos Modernos. Em 1954, John Turner e Geoffrey Parsons adicionaram letra à canção. Na letra, o cantor está dizendo para o ouvinte se animar e que há sempre um futuro brilhante, se ele apenas sorrir.

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile
